Pets by MyWay Removal Guide

Do you know what Pets by MyWay is?

Pets by MyWay is a browser add-on that supposedly can provide you with fun homepage backgrounds. Although this program does provide different animal wallpapers, it is not compatible with just any home page, which is what most users expect. Instead, this suspicious program changes your homepage (or New tab) to home.pets.myway.com. If you download this suspicious extension onto Internet Explorer, you might have the option to select whether you want to modify your homepage or new tab, in which case, the changes will surprise you less. However, if you use Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers, the changes might be made without your permission, and that is why so many computer users believe that they need to remove a browser hijacker. Although it is not a hijacker per se, you should delete Pets by MyWay.

The suspicious Pets by MyWay was developed by Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. This infamous company is responsible for GameTrekkers Toolbar, GasGlance Toolbar, Celebrities by inMind, and other suspicious browser extensions that probably require removal. Pets.myway.com is the website that promotes the strange extension we are discussing in this report, but it seems that third-party sources could be used for its distribution as well. If you have not downloaded Pets by MyWay from its official site, it is most likely that it was introduced to you via a third-party installer, which means that other unreliable programs could have been installed along with it. Do you need to remove these programs? Although you might be able to research these programs manually, we recommend using an up-to-date malware scanner that will identify which programs, besides Pets by MyWay, you need to remove.Pets by MyWay screenshotScroll down for full removal instructions

The cute animal wallpapers associated with Pets by MyWay is what lures computer users in, but the real goal of this program is to advertise third-party services/products. This is done by showing ads and replacing regular search results with the sponsored ones. Unfortunately, many computer users do not realize that they cannot trust home.pets.myway.com because it appears to show the search results from Google. In reality, the search results are modified, and you should not trust this search tool. If you have already interacted with the ads injected via Pets by MyWay, it is possible that you have been scammed, or malicious programs were downloaded. Of course, if these programs exist, they require removal as well.

You can remove Pets by MyWay with a single click. The instructions below show how to delete this unwanted extension along with the homepage.

Afterward, install an automated remover to clean your system from remaining threats and to keep it protected from malware that could attack in the future.
